AMD has sued four of its former members - Vice-President and three control factories in Boxborough, Massachusetts, which last year went to work at NVIDIA.
AMD is sure - heading to a new employer, the employees took with them copies of more than 100,000 confidential documents containing trade secrets.
According to AMD, the documents include both technological secrets, and contacts with major customers.
The Court accepted the claim for consideration and adopted the interim order requiring the defendants to keep all four copies of AMD, all computers and devices that they have, and not to disclose confidential information to AMD.
In particular, among the more than 100,000 files have licensing agreements with key partners and a document describing the licensing strategy. This information could give an unfair advantage to a competitor of AMD business.
According to AMD, the former employees of the company violated the terms of the contracts, the law on the protection of trade secrets and unfair competition law, as well as the Act of the Computer Fraud and Abuse - U.S. federal law enacted in 1984
